Pros

The people are awesome. The Lytx culture is great. While every company has its fair share of tech debt and mess, the engineering teams try to address these as best they can.

Cons

5 year vesting period for 401k is absurdly long. Entry level salary is quite competitive, but the rate of growth is very small. Now for the biggest issue. The company DOES NOT value long term employees and DOES NOT reward loyalty. HC penny pinches and regularly screws people out of money they deserve. I can personally say I've been intentionally shorted at least $15k over the several years I've been here due to their stupid policies and inflexibility to address these concerns. Because of this inflexibility and refusal to reward long term employees, turnover rate is high for the software engineering teams. There are far more new employees at every level than there are old employees. Because of this, I am so torn about leaving. I love the people and the work, but I am not ok with being shorted on what I am worth. Its like a bad relationship. The good times are great, but being cheated on feels like crap and, while it may hurt to leave, it's for the best to move on. I could only recommend Lytx to a friend as a short term commitment.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We do like to have a good time at Lytx and we think celebrating our successes and our employees are a core part of what makes our culture so great. Our recent “Return to Office” events for phase one employees which included free coffee, catered lunches, happy hours and cool swag received rave reviews. We evaluate our overall employee offering annually to maintain a competitive edge in the industry and we’re currently researching the 401K vesting period. We value all of our employees and encourage you to reach out directly to your supervisor or Human Capital Partner to discuss your specific concerns.

Pros

Great customers, innovative technology, new leadership is focused on right things. Love the new DRIVE company values.

Cons

A con for some (but pro for most): Competitive industry means lots of change. You need to like working hard and moving fast.

Pros

Hard to tell at this stage

Cons

The senior leadership at this company, particularly the CEO, continues a pattern from his previous roles/companies of prioritizing the hiring of friends and family members. A quick review of his prior company on LinkedIn reveals the same issues persisted there, with little apparent concern for addressing them. This practice creates significant resentment and a clear (and perceived) lack of fairness among employees. The CEO has historically dismissed these concerns with laughter at Lytx and in past companies which ultimately contributed to his downfall. It is likely only a matter of time before this Glassdoor account is censored. Nepotism of this nature serves as a major distraction and has a broadly negative impact on company culture, morale, and performance. As a side note, the lynx representative who responds to Glassdoor reviews comes across as dismissive and condescending. With the current leadership in place, this company will continue to face serious challenges in attracting and retaining talent.

Thank you for your feedback. We take concerns about fairness seriously and are surprised at your sentiment. We do encourage employee referrals, including qualified family members, because great talent often comes through trusted networks, but referrals do not guarantee employment. Every candidate is evaluated through the same hiring process, and hiring decisions are based on qualifications, experience, and the needs of the business. We remain committed to building a high-performing team and fostering a culture where employees can succeed.
